Monte-Carlo methods are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results of problems which are difficult or impossible to solve analytically. [wikipedia]
In this course we focus on the following topics:
The course is planned for Master’s students, but advanced Bachelor's students are also welcome. Since the topic of the course is very interdisciplinary and planned for all maths programmes, the lecturer will repeat and summarize the necessary results (from analysis, measure theory, theory of stochastic processes and numerics) at the beginning of the course.
Active participation, exercises.Possible to improve the grade with an oral exam.
